@Renerabbitthow'd you do dat? Don't be the magician with secrets. Your wall build included the top trim horizontal batten, and a base band.

@PitMan71 material region is the preferred way and this has been discussed in earlier threads. Do a search and find some. Then try it yourself. What is nice is that copy and repeat horizontally across an elevation places the battens quickly and trims them to gable lines and above and below all window and door openings.

I've found that lookouts only frame correctly when autoframed. They are a special kind of rafter and cannot be properly drawn manually. Maybe time to suggest a program enhancement, no?

It seems the OP has left the building.

Please take the time to learn to manually edit roof planes. And the best mode for editing is 3D perspective overview, color off, vector off, toggle patterns off. Like this. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5447/roof-basics.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/728/locating-roof-plane-intersections.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1500/the-dialogs-that-influence-roof-design.html

Sounds like you want the house roof to tee into the garage roof, with both having same ridge height. If pitch can vary, just decide whether you want the common ridge elevation to be that which the house has, or the garage. Then for the roof that you'll change, open it for spec, lock fascia height, and change its ridge to match the other ridge in height. It's easy and takes just seconds. Show us your result.

Describe "go into."

I cap my PBR samples at 150 and like the results. Have you tried something low like this? My card's a 3070.

The pic shows what I get. My system specs are in my sig. The driver is version 32.0.15.7260

Arrows are within dimensions.

Try that, Mike. I did. I got three lineals in this sequence, for 1x6. 16', 20', 9P (104.625"). All my cripples and all the jacks are getting cut from the precuts. And the 19 foot walls are getting their plates cut from the 20 footers. Not what I want. We simply need to be able to specify that in wall framing, vertical members less than stud length, and opening framing parts, plus items like ladder framing, are all cut from what we wish, and the wish is what we specify. I want it from sixteens. Likewise wall plates. We need to be able to say, "cut from length X." Not longest length, but the one we want. In my case, sixteens. You've framed. I've framed. On the deck, you want simple rules, and a minimum number of stock lengths. I'm only addressing wall framing in this suggestion. We could use something like this in floorframe work, for rim stock. If I frame with rimboard it's not an issue because I set one length for that item and whatever it is that is what gets used. But for sawn lumber floorframes, one might want all the rim to be from 16 footers without exception.

No, and Chief needs to program for it. If I have a 9/0 nominal ceiling height on main and 8/0 on second, plus a feature wall balloon framed needing some studs from 18 foot stock, I'll set up the buy list to have precut 8, precut 9, 16 and 18 lengths. I want the plates and headers, cripples and trimmers, and sills, to cut ONLY from the 16s. But that is not what Chief does in counting.

How can we help you without knowing something about your setup? Learn to do a signature line so we know your software details (see mine?), and learn to post a plan file. as an attachment. Look at other posts here in other threads. See the plan files attached? You gotta close a file before you can post it.
